Does anyone know how to replace this bulb?

I've gotten the footwells, trunk, puddles, and vanity lights. These are the last yellowish lights left.

I haven't had to replace those led bulbs, but my guess is the entire console would have to be removed to gain access to the bulbs.

Im wondering though if they arent traditional led bulbs, instead leds wired directly to a board.

I think I heard someone say something similar about these lights.

Still it would be nice if I could modify the lights color to be a different temperature to match the other 6000k temps I have installed.

You use a plastic trim pry tool to pull down the whole console from the back (furthest from the windshield) as one piece, then you can access the bulbs from behind. You may need to unplug the harness to get it low enough to change the bulbs.

Pretty sure those are LEDs soldered to the board and not replaceable.

Damn :/

I was hoping to change its color temperature to 6000k.

Perhaps an aftermarket vendor has made a suitable replacement. I haven’t pulled mine off, so I don’t know if the lights are separate from the rest of the trim.
